May 02: Trench dive is “thrill” of professor’s career
Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP) professor Patty Fryer used her knowledge as “one of the world’s, if not the world’s, leading expert of the Mariana Trench” to help film director James Cameron with his solo dive to the site last month. Fryer advised Cameron on what samples to collect and provided detailed topographical maps. ”This was really a culmination of 35 years of work. It was the most exciting thing that I've ever done in my academic career,” Fryer said. Cameron's team sought Fryer’s expertise on the Mariana region as well as her input on the submersible he designed for the dive.

Apr 30: Pacific reef shark populations plummeting
Pacific reef shark populations have plummeted by 90 percent or more over the past several decades, according to a new study published online in the journal Conservation Biology, and much of this decline stems from human fishing pressure — both directly targeted for their fins and incidentally caught in nets. “We estimate that reef shark numbers have dropped substantially around populated islands, generally by more than 90% compared to those at the most untouched reefs,” said lead author Marc Nadon from the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR).

Apr 20: Murky substance fouls stream, Kāne‘ohe Bay
Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) professor Marlin Atkinson didn’t like the murky substance he saw in the Makana Kai Marina. “I am a chemical oceanographer. I live here and I decided to take a look at what’s going on,” said Atkinson. Concerned for the marine environment, he took water samples to try and determine what was dumped into the Kea‘ahala stream, which leads down to the marina. “There’s a lot of tilapia in here and they are out there air-breathing. They don’t like the water. It’s probably low in oxygen. Fresh water is not normally, but this might be,” Atkinson said.

Apr 05: UH to collaborate on Earhart expedition
A new clue discovered by the The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) near the island of Nikumaroro in the nation of Kiribati may offer some answers to the mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart, an American aviator who disappeared with navigator Fred Noonan in the South Pacific on an attempted circumnavigation of the globe. The group plans to launch a 26-day expedition on 02 July 2012 — the 75th anniversary of Earhart’s disappearance — onboard the research vessel Ka‘imikai-o-Kanaloa. “KOK is well suited for [this] type of work,” said Alexander Shor, associate dean for research at SOEST, in an email. “We routinely launch and recover two manned submersibles… and the ship is well outfitted for navigating and communicating with underwater vehicles, which is one of its principal mission requirements.”

Mar 27: Update: Cameron’s historic dive cut short by leak
Filmmaker James Cameron’s dive to Challenger Deep, at a depth of almost 11,000 meters, was cut short by equipment problems. Cameron had planned to collect rock and animal samples with the sub’s mechanical arm, but with the hydraulic leak, “I couldn’t pick anything up, so I began to feel like it was a moment of diminishing returns to go on.” HIGP professor Patricia Fryer, whose research involves characterizing the geology of the Mariana Trench region, including seafloor mud volcanoes, is on hand during the sea trials and test dives. She noted that while remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, are much less expensive than manned subs, “the critical thing is to be able to take the human mind down into that environment…”

Mar 23: False killer whale actively focuses echolocation beam
UH Zoology PhD student Laura Kloepper and her advisor Paul Nachtigall, director of the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) at the Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), investigated whether odontocetes — toothed whales and dolphins — are able to actively focus their echolocation “beam” on targets.They worked with Kina (right), an adult female false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens), measuring the size and shape of her beam as it changed depending on the difficulty of the task, with remarkable results. “In previous studies, [Kina]’s managed to distinguish between two objects that differed in width by less than the thickness of a human hair,” says Kloepper. They published the findings in The Journal of Experimental Biology.

Mar 22: James Cameron heads into the abyss
Filmmaker James Cameron is planning to use a manned sub to dive to Challenger Deep, at a depth of over 10,000 meters, and return with samples and other data. Cameron says, “We want to push the envelope not only of scientific knowledge but also of engineering.” HIGP professor Patricia Fryer, whose research involves characterizing the geology of the Mariana Trench region, including seafloor mud volcanoes, is on hand during the sea trials and test dives, and will provide analysis of samples and data during the main dive. Oceanography professor Jeffrey Drazen, a deep-sea fish biologist who has consulted with Cameron, hopes that the expedition will return with fish from below 4,000 meters — the deepest that he and his colleagues have been able to collect samples from — so that he can analyze the chemical adaptations that allow survival under high pressures.

Mar 06: Using a tiny comet grain to date Jupiter’s formation
Using particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 brought to Earth in 2006 by NASA’s Stardust spacecraft, Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP) researchers Ryan Ogliore, Gary Huss, and
Kazuhide Nagashima, and their colleagues at other institutions have calculated that the planet Jupiter formed more than three million years after the formation of the first solids in our Solar System. The findings suggest the formation of this giant planet affected how materials in the early solar system moved, collided, and coalesced during the complex planet-forming process.

Mar 06: Land-ocean connections discovered off Moloka‘i
Scientists from SOEST and colleagues from other institutions recently discovered that land-based plant material and coastal macroalgae indirectly support the increased abundances of bottom fish in submarine canyons, like those off the north shore of the island of Moloka‘i. Oceanography PhD candidate Fabio De Leo, lead author of the report, his PhD advisor Craig Smith, and their colleagues used manned submersibles operated by the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) to perform numerous video transects in two submarine canyons off Moloka‘i at depths ranging from 350 to 1,050 m (~1,000 to ~3,000 ft).

Feb 29: Disproving 30-year hypothesis about sea star invaders
Researchers from the Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR), and Rutgers University have reported that a widely-accepted “secondary outbreak” hypothesis about the cause of outbreaks of destructive crown-of-thorns sea stars does not apply in the central Pacific. Using DNA analysis, they have demonstrated that unlike on the Great Barrier Reef, crown-of-thorns larvae are not moving en masse among central Pacific archipelagos. In fact, outbreaks came from local populations.

Feb 27: UH scientists revise forecast on tsunami debris
International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) ocean scientists originally forecast that debris from the 11 March 2011 tsunami in Japan could reach the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in early 2013. The possibility now exists for an earlier arrival date of this Winter, according to senior researcher Nikolai Maximenko and scientific computer programmer Jan Hafner. The remaining debris is forecast to reach the coasts of Oregon, Washington state, Alaska, and Canada between March 2013 and March 2014.
A video of Nikolai Maximenko speaking, on the first anniversary of the Great Tohoku Earthquake, about the current status of the tsunami debris that the earthquake generated is now available.

Feb 22: Clam fields at deep, low-temperature Mariana vents
Located east of Mariana Islands in the western Pacific and at the deepest part of the ocean, the 1,580-mile long Mariana trench is where the Pacific Plate is pushed under the Mariana Plate. A research team, which included HIGP researcher Fernando Martinez, was exploring an area on the inner trench slope of that convergent margin during September 2010. They discovered abundant vesicomyid clam communities associated with a low-temperature hydrothermal vent system, and named the area after the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology manned submersible Shinkai 6500 used in the dives.

Feb 15: Energy from Hawai‘i’s waves
Wave power is the alternative energy source in Hawai‘i that is the least developed but has the most potential, according to a recent federal study. The most successful wave energy project in Hawai‘i to date was done by Ocean Power Technologies, a New Jersey-based company that began testing power-generating buoys in Kāne‘ohe Bay in 2004. That work was invaluable in terms of the information it produced for the nascent wave power industry, said Hawai‘i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) specialist Luis Vega, manager of the Hawai‘i National Marine Renewable Energy Center (HINMREC).

Jan 27: Tracking the great Japan tsunami debris field
In order to better understand the flow of marine debris from the Japan tsunami last year, a team of researchers including Nikolai Maximenko and Jan Hafner of IPRC is using a combination of high and low technology tracking devices. They have deposited a series of buoys, which report their position by satellite, and hundreds of simple wooden blocks near the leading edge of the debris field. The blocks are imprinted with an email address and phone number so beachcombers, boaters, and anyone else who finds one can report when and where they located it.

Jan 24: Ocean acidity worsening, study finds
International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) postdoctoral fellow Tobias Friedrich is lead author of a paper in the online issue of Nature Climate Change examining the effects of man-made CO2 emissions on ocean water acidity (as acidity increases, the rates animals such as coral and shrimp make the calcium carbonate they use in their skeletons and shells decreases). In some regions, acidity levels appear to have risen faster in the last 200 years than in the previous 21,000 years. “Our results suggest that severe reductions are likely to occur in coral reef diversity, structural complexity and resilience by the middle of this century,” says co-author Axel Timmermann, a professor in the department of Oceanography.
Read more about it in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, The Daily Mail, Green House, Hawaii Reporter, and EurekaAlert!. An animation showing changes in surface saturation levels of aragonite (a form of calcium carbonate) between 1800 and 2100 is available on YouTube. Image courtesy Dwayne Meadows, NOAA.

Jan 20: Waikīkī Sand
Coastal geologist Chip Fletcher, SOEST's Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, is interviewed on ‘Ōiwi TV, Hawaiian Language Television, about Waikīkī beach replenishment and the importance of long-term planning to protect Hawai‘i’s culturally, ecologically, and economically important beaches. The state is taking sand from sand fields 2500 ft. off shore to replace sand lost from the Duke Kahanamoku statue to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. “Because we’ve engineered and altered the shoreline so dramatically over the last century, we are trying to reestablish a natural process that has been lost,” he said.

Jan 20: Tsunami debris exploration: new theories, questions
International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) senior researcher Nikolai Maximenko is analyzing debris collected on a month-long expedition from Honolulu to Midway Islands, as well as debris recently washed ashore on Moloka‘i. Maximenko believes none of it is from Japan's disaster, but is instead from the massive North Pacific “garbage patch.” The material is old and includes plastic objects used in Canada and the US, as well as Asia. Also, he said, the debris from Japan has “…stopped, because of a temperature front on the southern edge of the debris.” However, light windblown debris has already reached the US West Coast.

Jan 17: Shark expert confirms great white in Hawaiian waters
Fisherman Addison Toki recently took video of a shark he identified as a great white circling a fishing boat several miles off O‘ahu’s Waianae Coast. Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) researcher Kim Holland, director of the Shark Research Group, took one look at the video and confirmed that the animal is in fact a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). As many as ten individual sharks tagged with electronic devices off California and Mexico have made the trip to Hawaiian waters, he noted, but why they make the trip is still a mystery.

Jan 07: R/V Kilo Moana returns safely after taking on water
After receiving assistance from the US Coast Guard on Friday, the Kilo Moana has returned to Honolulu a day after taking on water from a baseball-sized hole. The hole appeared behind pipes in the starboard hull and was difficult to reach, said Brian Taylor, Dean of SOEST. “It’s very well run and a very reliable research vessel. It’s not prone to baseball size holes in its side for sure. We’re as puzzled as anyone,” said Sandy Shor, SOEST’s Associate Dean for Research.
The 186" twin-hull research vessel was in the open ocean about 70 miles north of O‘ahu on a five-day expedition to Station ALOHA. Onboard were about 20 researchers in two teams from UH and the University of Washington, and 20 crew members; no one was hurt.
